All cyclamen are raised from seed here and are at least 3 years post-germination; most are flowering size, if not they are priced accordingly. Seed parents are all excellent forms and representative of their species or named selections; seedlings are true to name. Unless otherwise mentioned, all cyclamen prefer conditions which are moist in the fall, winter & especially spring but drier in the summer when dormant. Perfect drainage is required at all times. Shade, such as that provided by the woodland edge or a large deciduous shrub, is ideal in most cases. More detailed descriptions of the species, cultivars and cultivation requirements can be found in my article The Magic of Cyclamen. Photos can be found in the Cyclamen section ofthe Plants Photographs or by clicking on the species names in the listing. 'Hardy' means reliable in this garden at temperatures down to at least 5F with or without snow cover. The leaves of several species that are wintergreen will benefit from protection from morning sun. Plants will be shipped ex pots and partially bare-root during late April or late July/early August when dormant - the best time to reestablish them as they come back into root and shoot growth.

Please inquire for wholesale prices for Cyclamen hederifolium, coum, confusum and mirabile which can be shipped in pots (multiples of 32 pots/tray).

Related to coum but unique with its propeller-shaped flowers and heady, spicy scent. Flowers in February in the garden over smallish rounded, white-splashed leaves and flower color varies from pale to deep pink. Hardy.

Exceptionally rare & recently described species from the western Caucasus which is related to C. purpurascens, with similar cultural needs. Fragrant, July-September blooming & almost evergreen. Moist but well-drained shade. Hardy.

Flowers are varying shades of pink & strongly scented. More substantial flowers and more robust in appearance than C.hederifolium, from which it was recently separated as a distinct species. Beautiful thick, glossy leaves. Hardy.

Cyclamen coum is the best all-round spring-flowering species for the garden. Flowers in February & March are white through to deep pink, including attractive bicolors. Leaves are neat and rounded, contributing to the garden throughout the late fall, winter and spring because they emerge in the fall. Completely hardy and self-sowing abundantly here, they prefer a little more moisture in summer than C. hederifolium. All are grown from carefully selected parents.

Pristine pure white February flowers over deep green leaves without a trace of silver. Very refined and completely distinct from coum 'Album', the latter having white flowers with a dark nose. Seedlings from a plant discovered during a Cyclamen Society expedition, breeds completely true. Hardy.

Pristine pure white February flowers over leaves which vary from plain green to those with quite variable silver markings. Flowers often have delicate wavy edges to the petals, creating a lovely effect. Flowers can open pale pink. Hardy.

A form with rounded dark green lightly marked leaves and small but very dark red flowers. Hardy.

Another white-flowered woodland species which flowers in April, even though the leaves appear before Christmas. A very dainty species with ivy-shaped leaves which can also be beautifully splashed with silver and pewter. Another shade lover.

A lovely species which fills the flowering gap between the late fall & early spring species, giving of its spicily scented pink/purple-nosed white flowers in November-January. Very variable & nicely marked leaves. Hardy to Z7.

Cyclamen cyprium "Galaxy"

A new selection with leaves covered in white spots, like an exploding galaxy.

Very rare & recently elevated to a species in its own right (from coum ssp. elegans). Much more pointed leaves & flowers - truly elegant. Foliage may be damaged in colder climates but valuable for its January-February flowering time, well before the main flush of coum. Hardy in a sheltered spot.

Cyclamen graecum provides stunning, infinitely variable leaf forms & wonderful white through deep pink flowers in September-November. A plant for the greenhouse if you are colder than Z7. An incredible collection can be made of C. graecum forms alone - and these have been grown from parents selected over 25 years!

Sub-species anatolicum tends to be dwarfer in stature, and a much neater plant, with significantly smaller leaves and shorter petioles. Flowers generally lack auricles. A superb plant for growing in pots.

Selected seedlings eedlings from the island of Rhodes where plants with the most amazing leaf markings grow on a windswept cliff. Plants are generally very small in stature, almost cushions when mature.

A very restricted sub-species from the island of Crete. Flowers are usually white with a gorgeous deep-purple blotch at the mouth, but the leaves are an incredible combination of deep velvet green with silver veins.

Forms with pure silver or pewter leaves - including "Glyfada" and "Rhodopou" types

Cyclamen hederifolium is the premier fall-flowering species for the garden, pefering dry light shade in summer. Flowers are white through varying shades of pink. Leaves are as variable as those of C. graecum, albeit very different in shape & pattern, making a superb ground cover from September through late April. Bone hardy and self-sowing here in their thousands, the flowers make a beautiful and delicate carpet in September & October. All are grown from carefully selected parents.

Cyclamen hederifolium ssp. crassifolium

A subspecies formally described in 2009, ssp. crassifolium comes from the Peloponnese in Greece. Distinct both morphologically and in chromosome number from ssp. hederifolium. Forms with white or pink flowers, unselected. Tends to be very late flowering and can have very large flowers. Hardy

A tiny species happy outside but shown off best in a pot or trough. Unselected plants from ones with pink and white flowers, appearing in October, each with a delicate tracery of penciled veins down the flower. Hardy.

Closely related to cilicium & intaminatum & probably the strongest scented of them. Masses of beautiful toothed flowers in early fall varying from white through to a nice strong pink, always with a darker nose. Leaves have variable markings which can start off pink before fading to silver. Hardy.

Foliage is incredible - new leaves have an overall raspberry pink color with a dark green 'Christmas tree' pattern down the mid-rib of the leaf, the pink area fades to pewter over a couple of months. A good garden plant here. Hardy.

Hardier than generally thought - will easily take temperatures into the low 20s F without harm. These are raised from seed from plants collected by the Cyclamen Society and have a very wide range of beautiful leaf forms; fragrant flowers can be from deep cerise to pure white, many are white with deep red noses.

Thick, glossy and well marked quite pointed leaves and large flowers varying from pale pink to deep cerise with a white nose, all with a strong scent. Hardy and late flowering, one of the best garden cyclamen here.

Cyclamen repandum

The last species to flower, in April , and yet another with strongly scented blooms, over ivy-shaped leaves which can be variously marked. A woodland gem, unique in its preference for deep planting, under which circumstances it is hardy.

Once included in C. repandum, this is native to the Peloponnese, Rhodes, and southwestern Kos. Also prefers deep planting, under which circumstances it is hardy. Leaves less strongly marked than ssp. peloponnesiacum.

The most tender species and the only one with exerted stamens. Flowers vary greatly, large glossy new leaves, some with pink markings that fade to silver. Flowers very early, often in September, always before the leaves here.
